Thisstudy also investigates whether there is a difference in Ohio Achievement Assessmentscores between students who regularly attend Kids Unlimited and those who do not basedon gender, grade level, socio-economic status, special education status, race, or schoolsite. And finally, this study investigates whether students who have attended KidsUnlimited for more than one academic year attain higher Ohio Achievement Assessmentscores than students who have attended Kids Unlimited for a maximum of one schoolyear.</p><p>The results of the study show that no significant differences were found in OhioAchievement Assessment scores for students who regularly attended the after schoolprogram Kids Unlimited when compared to students at the same schools who did notattend Kids Unlimited. Statistical differences were found in Ohio AchievementAssessment scores for reading based on gender, grade-level and race and significantdifferences were found for math achievement scores based on school site, grade-level andrace. These differences should be interpreted with caution due to similar significantresults for non-Kids Unlimited students and low sample sizes. Finally, no significantdifferences were found in achievement assessment scores for students who attended KidsUnlimited for more than one academic year when compared to students who attendedKids Unlimited for a maximum of one school year.</p> 2011 English text University of Toledo / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1321645711 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=toledo1321645711 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
